CMT's Top 20 Countdown

Hackleburg was once again on CMT's Top 20 Countdown this past weekend. This time it wasn't because a video won our town fame as "The Best Small Town in America". This time is was to help us spread the word that even though an F-5 tornado that ripped throug our town on April 27, destroying everything, WE WILL REBUILD. And, more importantly to inform viewers about how they can help the people of our town. Thank you CMT.

Services at the Hackleburg Church of God of Prophecy

Announcements will be made each week with information about services for that week.

At 10:00 am, Sunday, May 8th, Service will be on the front lawn of our church under tents.

The wonderful folks at the RAMP in Hamilton have invited us to join them for services on Sunday evenings until we are able to resume our Sunday night services.

Pastor Clint and Pastor Dustin are trying to find a way to have youth services on Wednesday nights. More details will come later.

Pastor Clint, Pastor Liz, Pastor Dustin, and all of our congregation want to say a special "THANK YOU TO EVERYONE" for volunteering to help this town in so many ways; for all of the many donations from money to clothing, to food, to diapers, to water, and the list goes on; and for your concern and your prayers.


Wednesday, April 27, 2011 - An EF-5 tornado destroyed our town. Far too many of residents of this small town lost everything they owned. Others were able to salvage some of their belongings. And others made it through with little to no damage. This town lost it's elementary & high school, our only grocery store, pharmacy, physician's office, & dollar store. Our town also lost many of the public housing apartments, our largest employer, gas stations, restaurants, church buildings and I could go on and on. We, the Hackleburg Church of God of Prophecy, suffered the loss of our new church facility, our youth church facility, and our Pastor's Family's home.

As devastating as these losses are, we suffered even greater losses. We mourn for each friend, family member and loved-one who did not survive. However, we can find comfort. Through all of this devastation it might be difficult to see right now, but there is HOPE. God is our hope. God did not thrust these horrible storms upon us. He is not punishing us. God is Love. God loves each and every one of us. God is merciful. GOD IS FAITHFUL!

To paraphrase what Pastor Clint said at our Sunday morning service under a tent, "Out of these ashes, will come something beautiful."
